It's nothing like Idols. We have a local version of Idols going on right now here in Finland. I believe it's season 3. But then again, Eurovision is definitely not just a song contest. THE Freak circus show would be much better description. The concept is shamefully bad artists performing horrible corny songs, usually completed with over-the-top performance. If hours of unintentional humor is your thing, Eurovision is a safe bet. Our representative last year, Lordi, was fun to watch. And since I love rock/metal, I think we should have sent some brutal metal band to Eurovision this year: just to wet the pants of "flower hat ladies". Instead we'll introduce Hanna Pakarinen, our dull & dry Idols winner. We finns still take this lame competition too seriously and don't take for what it is all about. Agree. It’s nothing like Idols.

Not at all. Each European country selects a SONG to represent that country in this competition. And of course a performer to perform that song. But Eurovision is a SONG contest. At the final each country performs it´s song and then the participants deal points (12 - 0) to other countries. and the country that gets highest score, wins and get´s to organize the contest next year. So we won last year:) Actually, Eurovision is not like american idol. Not at all.
